Dear Conway,
Jan van Herwaarden has worked extensively about this (*Opgelegde
Bedevaarten [Assen, Amsterdam, 1978]); but I think you'll also find
some information in Ronald C. Finucane, *Miracles and Pilgrims*
(London, 1977) or Jonathan Sumption, *Pilgrimage: An Image of
Medieval Religion* (London, 1975); see also J. J. Jusserand, *English
Wayfaring Life in the Middle Ages* trans. Lucy Toulmin Smith (London,
New York, 1961).
Cheers, Christoph
